We have a very creative bunch here at the Bulk Candy Store, I am constantly amazed at some of their creations. The idea pictured in the photo above came from the the creative mind of our Summer Intern Avery. This was his contribution to the his nephew's base ball championship winners party.

Last week my son asked me to help him to create a candy bouquet Father's Day gift for his dad. Excellent idea! I thought. My first idea was to do a black and white themed bouquet. I selected a simple glass bottle to use as a vase. I stuffed it with black shredded paper, next I arranged three black and white swirl lollipops in the vase and I finished the arrangement with an over sized white bow. Continue reading →

So, you have decided to forgo the professional party planner and you are going to create a candy buffet all by your lonesome. Great, you and I are of like minds. But, the price of candy jars can be upwards of $30.00.

So, you are browsing the candy by color category at BulkCandyStore.com and a thought bubble pops over your head - How much candy do I need for this event? Well, The general consensus among party planners is that you need approximately eight ounces of candy per guest. So lets do the math - if 25 party goers RSVP yes to your event, then you will need 200 ounces of candy or 12.5 pounds - that's 25 people, times 8 OZs of candy equals 200 OZs. Divide the 200 ounces by 16 'cause 16 oz = 1lb and you will need to buy 12.5 lbs of candy. (I bet you did not know that math was this sweet:) Now, I know some of your guests may take more than 8 ounces, but if your friends are like mine, some will be watching their weight, so they will take less or they may leave the delicious candy treats behind - yes, I did take that into account - it all balances out.

Yes, cake pops are all the rage, but how did they come to be? The concept of a ball of sweet cake is actually not new, I suspect that some inspiration was derived from donut holes, which are sweet dough balls glazed or coated with glaze or cinnamon and sugar crumb. Donut holes; however, are considered more of a breakfast item with only a basic presentation quality. They are yummy and fun to eat, but a tray of donut holes just doesn't have that "wow" factor we all strive for, especially when selecting party foods. Continue reading →

Some people call it rock sugar, some call it sugar swizzle sticks others call it crystallized sugar. Here at the Bulk Candy Store, we call it Rock Candy.

The crystals are formed by allowing a supersaturated solution of sugar and water to crystallize onto a surface suitable for crystal nucleation, such as a string or stick. The process takes about 6 to 7 days to produce the crystals. Continue reading →
